چکیده

Today's it is essential to assess and determine the efficiency of NIS to achieve the objectives of macroeconomic policies. In this study, a network data envelopment analysis models are used to evaluate the performance of the national innovation system of Iran and 73 other countries in a two-stage process is the production and commercialization of knowledge. The results show that Iran's national innovation system is inefficient. The first and second stages and the overall efficiency in the free link are 0.59, 0.74 and 0.18, in a fixed link are 0.74, 0.87 and 0.63 and SBM is 0.88. To improve performance, reduce the amount specified inputs, increase their efficiency levels and thus the efficiency of the entire system will be up to the efficient frontier.
